It’s the long and gorgeous shoreline and a warm, sunny climate that makes Portugal so irresistible. This colourful little European country has a whole lot of history, inexpensive eats and one cool capital. For a destination that’s as hot as piri piri: book flights to Portugal now.

Portugal sits on one long, yellow beach. Its 800 km of Atlantic coastline stretches from Porto in the north, through to the capital of Lisbon and down to Faro – the main city of the famous Algarve. Portugal holidays mean plenty of entertainment: the country is known for great golf courses, surf breaks and city breaks, too. Exploring? Don’t neglect the pretty inland scenery – no better showcased than at Sintra, a fairy-tale palace surrounded by enchanting forest. And don’t forget to count Madeira among Portugal’s riches: fly to Funchal to visit this Atlantic island-idyll. Whether mainland or island, golf getaway or beach stay, you’ll have a memorable holiday in Portugal with British Airways.
